THE GREAT VICTORY.
STUNNED AND DEiMORALIZED
THE SPANIARDS.
1 lie Advantages Were on the Side of
the Spanish, but the Steady Fire
of Americans Surprised Them
and Drove Them Back.
MANILA, Aug. ;j, via ITOXG KONG,
Aug. io. The Spaniards were stunned
and demoralized by the great victory
won by the Americans ag-ain.it such
overwhelming- odds on the night of
July 31st. According- to reports
brought by refugees, all the advant
ages were so clearly on the side of the
oiiunisi mat tne soldiers and
dents of Manila expected nothing- less
than the driving- of the America .na intn
tne sea.
Their hopes had also been buoyed
up by the Spanish nress of M nni In
which published
the woful conditions and weakness of
numbers of the Americans.
Ihe Spanish loss was verv honw
including- several officers.
the bnanish nlan was to turn t.ho
Americans' Hank and make a joint at
tack on the front and right, with the
intention of killing as many as possi
ble and demoralizing the American
forces before the general advance on
Manila. They foue-ht dop-mwilv to this
end, but the steady tire of the American
nlles and batteries was utterly unex
pected, causing- the Snanish to with
draw into Malata forts and trenches.

Solicitor Mottreturned home Frid ay.
He is still "mum" regarding politics,
but the reporter heard an intimation
Friday that some .startling develop
ments might be expected within the
next few weeks. The Solicitor knows
all about it, but he declines to talk
for publication just at this time.
Sheriff Call, of Wilkes, returned
from Mocksville Friday morning. A
friend tells The Skntinel. that he
was busy Thursday "chinning" the
Davie insurgents trying to get them
in line for Linney. Our informant
says ma tuoris were iruiness. J.ne I
Sheriff was asked how much
the "Bull of the Brushies" was nav- I
in? him to make a tnr of the

shake as well as a short one. The
two were several seats apart when the

political enemies.
COLORED SOLOIKK WOUNDKD.
Says He Saw Lieutenant Shlpp After
He Was Killed.
Burrell II. Bullock, colored, of the
Oth U. S. Calvary, arrived in Winston
August 9 to spend a day with his
old "boss," Mr. A. W. Schaum,
whom he lived with until he was IS
years old, when he ran away and
joined the U. S. Army. He is now
serving his eleventh year. Bullock
says he was wounded in the battle at
San Juan, July 1st, and was given a
furlough for two months. He went
from here to Henderson to visit his
family.
He says that when he was wounded
they were charging up a hill at San
Juan and that after he fell out the
Cubans took his watch and $15 in
cash and robbed him of his clothes.
Bullock also says he saw Lieutenant
bhipp after he was killed.
Bullock was wounded in the left
hand. He was a sharpshooter and
says he knows he killed three Span
iards. Two he shot out of trees and
one on the ground. He says the one on
the ground had been lost from his
company and was hiding in the grass.
liunocK was so near nira when he fired
that the powder from his gun burned
tne sspamara.
Bullock fought the Indians a few
years ago. He will return to his com
pany as soon as his hand sets well.
He does not care to take part in an
other battle like the one at Santiago,
though he is opposed to showing the
"white feather" and will sro to the
front whenever he is called upon to do
so. Mr. Schaum tells The Skntinel
that Bullock is a good nesrro.
WATKRMKLON FEAST.
An Rating Contest to be tho Attrac
tionThose Invited.
Mr. J. A. Jones will give the Odd
Fellows a treat on watermelons on
Thursday evneing, 18th inst. A prize
has been offered to the man eating
the most melon. Three have already
entered the contest O. B. Eaton.
Philip Ilanes and "Dick" Clingman.
Mr. Jones says he does not exnect
any more contestants since his friend
Clingman has entered the race. His
reputation as a watermelon eater is
too well known.
The Lodge last week aDDOinted
Messrs. A. J. Hunt, Wilev Keith and
Dick Clingman a committee to select
a place tor the feast. Thev will nrob-
ably decide on Brown's warehouse or

Mayor and white Aldermen of Win
ston will be invited to the feast; also
an jaa f allows and their wives-
those who have them. The prize to the
one eating tne most win be a 40 pound

Suggestion to Chairman Holton.
The Greensboro Record addresses
the Republican State Chairman as
follows: While you are doing about,
looking for a suitable man for Con
gress from the 5th district what is the
matter with your relative, Cicero Hol
ton, of the county of Guilford? As a
talker and stump speaker he is Al,
while he is posted and a fighter from
wayback. His name has been men
tioned around about, but somehow
when it is heard there are orders to
hush "shs." Taint fair. The choice
of the people is always the strongest
man. Give them a showing. The
politicians have been running things
to suit themselves long enough.
County Ticket Suggested.
The Sentinel is in receipt of the
following communication from one of
Forsyth's leading farmers: I wish to
suggest a winning ticket for this Fall
as we see it in this section: Sheriff.
William M. Hinshaw; clerk, Rufe
Transou; register of deeds, N. W
Sapp; treasurer, Albert 'Atwood; com
missioners, ti. s. Ldnville, Albert
Wharton and R. L. Cox. We believe
for sheriff, Hinshaw will carry more
votes than any man in the county.
f or many reasons 1 write this as a
suggestion of many citizens.

An Awful Experience.
Mr. Charles D. Hunt, writing to his
brother, Mr. A. J. Hunt, from Santia

;We have teen on Cuban - soil now
nearly a month, without a change of

two opportunities to bathe. We can
scarcely get enough water to drink."
Regarding the biff battle on .inlv lat

One regiment, with the Sixth and Seventy-first
New York volunteers were
marching along a narrow road toward
the position occupied bv the
On either side of the road wns a
growth of small trees with a thiek un
derbrush. Without warning and lie-
fore we could hardly realize our nosi-
tion, we were fired upon. But, un
daunted, we pushed forward in the di
rection of the fil ing. Men were being
killed and wounded all around us and
we could not see a soul to shoot at,
but we pushed on and finally gained
an opening into a field, facinrr ahrmt
t)00 yards from the Spanish strong
hold. Ihis position was a large block
house with intrenchments galore. "
"The Spanish soldiers are brave,
but had we occupied this position no
army in the world could or would have
taken it from us. When we. rear-hen
the open field nearly every one of our
men gave a yea ana dashed forward,
witnout waiting for commands, firing
as we ran. At the same time our Gat
ling guns opened fire and the scene
was changed. The Spaniards exper
ienced some of the hot t i mes t.hnv hitVl
made for us, although they killed and
wounded a good many of our men du
ring the charge. We gained the po
sition they had occupied, driving them
into trenches nearer the city. Our Hag
(the 16th ) was the first one planted,
although one of our color sergeants
was killed during the attack. Four of
our men were killed and ten wounded,
one being an officer. We were under
heavy firing during the next two days. "

KKPUBLIUAN CONVENTION.
Will be Held on September 17th to
Nominate County Ofllcers.
The Republicans will hold their con
vention to nominate county candidates
on Saturday, September 17th.
This was decided upon by the Re
publican county executive committee,
which met in the County Commission
ers' room in the court-house at 12
o'clock Thursday.
Mr. J. M. Jessup, the new chairman,
presided and Jailer Masten took notes
of the proceedings. Stamp Clerk J.
F. Reynolds, ex-chairman, was pres
ent to give his successor instructions
as to how things should be run. Four
townships were not represented. F.
II. Morris, of Kernersville, thought
there ought to be some expression by
the committee as to how it stood on
the present county officials. This was
objected to by several members who
thought the primaries and convention
should settle matters of this kind.
Mr. Reynolds was asked that after
noon if the old county officers would
not be renominated. He replied that
he had heard very little discussion re
garding the candidates or convention,
but he knew there was some opposi
tion to some of the present county of
ficers. THE COUNTY FAIR.
liet it be Consolidated With the To
bacco Fair.
We would suggest that the County
Fair, which has been held at Oak
Grove for several years, be consoli
dated with the Tobacco Fair, held at
Winston.
The County Fair, at its present lo
cation, has lieen very creditable, in
deed, but a removal from one corner
of the county to a central location and
a business mart, like Winston, should
and will materially extend its propor
tions by enlisting the interest of a
larger number of our country friends.
We understand that the removal
wonld be satisfactory to the manage
ment of the County Fair and we. think
it win meet the hearty approval of the
Tobacco Fair management and of our
citizens generally.
lhe only difficulty we see is the lack
of buildings, but we hope that means
will be devised for overcoming this
difficulty. At any rate let the matter
receive prompt and earnest considera
tion and, if it be possible, let the two
r airs be consolidated.

HONG Kong, Aug. 11. Members of
the Philippine Junta called publicly

he had deserted the trenches, failintr
to warn tne Americans of the approach

since he left Hong Kong and also that
his me and tne lives of the men of his

A Democratic Farm.
R. N". Hackett, while here recently,
told a Skntinel man a story which
sounds rather "fishy," but he says he
can furnish proof to any doubting
Thomases. He has a farm in Wilkes
which is strictly Democratic. The
tenant is white and only white oak,
white pine and white hickory grow on
it. Even the blackberries are white.
Tbe tenant recently caught two white
squirrels on the place. There is a
graveyard on the farm and Mr.
Hackett has been advised that white
ghosts have been seen in and

Americans Advised to Oo Slowly In
Shipping Supplies to Cuba Until
Our Forres Take Possession
Unless Spaniards Need.
Washington, August 13. Cuba,
!...... t: l . . -.
a uitAj iiiwj auu manna are to 1X5 no
longer in a state of blockade, publi
cation of this fact having been mad
to all Powers. Vessels blockading
these ports will now withdraw. It is
now possible for enterprising mei
chants to enter Insular ports and dis-
innute toou stuns at any price they
see fit to charge. Tt is exiiected trade
will lie lively ir. a short time. No ac
tion has been taken as vet to feed tin
reconeenirauos, nut tins will come
within a short time, if investigation
proves that the supplies shipiitnl into
Havana and other ports of Cuba are
inadequate to meet the needs of the
jieople.
lhe President feels that until Amer
ican forces take formal possession of
UDa, our people should iro slowlv in
the matter of shipping supplies, unless
it snouia oe round that the Spaniards
themselves are in need. Blanco will
be consulted on this subject. The
American military commission on
evacuation will probably enter Havana
iiar nor on a warship, which will stay
until the matter is settled.
C. II. LOPKR ROBBED.
Sutliclently Amused With Ills Trip
to Klondyke.
Mr. A. Savery received a letter
Thursday from C. II. Loper, who left
Winston several mouths ago to swk
his fortune in the Klondyke gold
fields. He writes from Dyea, Alaska,
date of July 22nd. He says:
I suppose you think the devil had
me. Well, in one way he has. I had
to come back from the Copjier; it was
no goou. l went over the Glacier and
met so many coining hack disaiipoiut-
d that I concluded not to iro further
and I am now on my way to Dawson.
A tramway is now runnin"- on the
Chilcoot pass, lint thev charge S ,-, nts
a pound to deliver goods to I jiike Ben
nett. I have disposed of what I could,
so as to go light. I lost a pari of my
goods in the rapids and momim "-.It
lam aged by water. The Glacier now
at this time is a "dandy". I got lost.
t the 1th of July and a few minutes
after 1 left the spot a large crevice
HK-ned. I knew it was coming from
the si.zing sound that came from lc-
neath.
This whole Copper River boom has
collapsed; it was nothing but a swindle
from lirst to last gotten up by the
Navigation Company. 1 wish 1 could
talk to you of my last four months'
exjierience. 1 have seen man in his
worst form and I have concluded that
man is God anil devil the image of
one and disposition of the other.
My partner whom 1 too'k in after he
was abandoned by one outfit without
any means, roblied me and of course
had to fire hitn.
1 fear 1 will lie late in Dawson, but
will take my chances with the late
ones. Give mv lest regards to cousin
Jim
Scales and tell Whit Pegram to
where he is, if lie is not gone.
